Lesson

The rationale for this project's overall design was justifiable as it highlighted Pakse as an economic and commercial center of southern Lao PDR.

In the absence of an effective management system, the new landfill currently operates as an uncontrolled dumping site. There is a need for proper handover procedures and transfer of management from the project to the local authorities.
